Our Lives Are Like Water

Just a thought inspired
by a friend, a good friend.

Our Lives Are Like Water belongs to the following groups:

All Things Poetic, Artistic, Philosophical, Core [C.O.R.E], Graphic Scratch, Live, Love, Dream: , Masterpieces: Literary Workshop and Safe Haven

Our lives are like
water that will flow
over a rock in a creek.
We have but a single
instant to experience
that moment of time,
before the next
will be encountered.

And over each rock
you glide -
take enjoyment
in the ride -
Learn from it…
treasure it…
and from it
experience something
to… remember.

    Brilliant writing Rog … very evocative, emotive, leaves one reminded that each moment is precious … and that (I’m reading into this) even the “least appreciated” moments pass as well. Ah, yet when you step back and look at all the moments in each of our lives, a tapestry emerges, intertwined with friends and feelings, memories, and beauty … BRILLIANT WRITING ROG!!!

  • Roger Sampson replied

    So right on Em – I love your observations!! We witness what is before us… and we see what we understand… the key is to ponder each:)))

    Beautiful words….a reminder to live in the moment and always try to make the most of it!! Past and future only exist as thoughts in our minds…..memories, expectations…..the only thing we really to have is the present moment. Great work!
